Reflecting the rising distrust between US occupation forces and their Afghan allies, a US soldier has shot and killed a private guard at a Sar-e Pol Province military base in what officials are calling an “unfortunate misunderstanding.”
The US soldier is said to have killed the man thinking that the 22-year-old Afghan guard was about to attack him. NATO declined comment but the US said it was “aware” of the incident and investigations are apparently underway.
The guard was one of several contractors hired to guard the exterior of the base. He asked to be let inside the base for some reason, starting an argument with the US soldier, which ended in the shooting. Afghan police say the US soldier, who was not named, “thought he was acting in self defense.”
Between Taliban infiltrators launching attacks in the uniforms of allied security forces and incidents like these, the distrust between Afghan troops and NATO occupation forces appears to be increasing, and could lead to more itchy trigger fingers on both sides.
Private Gomer Pyle kills Private Ali. Another Private Ali kills Private Gomer Pyle. Fine–we don't these low-IQ, genetic dead-end, brainwashed-by-ZOG, moronic, psychopathic Gomer Pyles coming back here to become cops or something, indefinitely detaining or killing us because they are "following orders".
American exceptionalism — When in doubt kill the other guy
American legalized killers, be they law enforcement who get a god-ego strapping a killing machine to their body, be they our troops jamming American foreign polity down the throats of sovereign people in their sovereign land, the fake morality prevails, we may kill anyone if there is a 2% chance they may have vengeance in their hearts sufficient to want us dead. Such is Empire USA and the brutal imperialism that plunder creates.
Yet more irrefutable proof that the FedGov learned its lesson in Vietnam about "winning the hearts and minds" of the natives . . .
Better safe than sorry. Very Stalin-like.
He probably said "oops! Neeeeext?"
